AutoWikiBrowser

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Shortcuts
Please review the AWB guide before making a request. Users with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. You can check your non-automated contributions on XTools. Administrators are automatically approved and do not need to request access. For bots, please consult the Bot Approvals Group or bureaucrats' noticeboard about adding AWB access.
This page is for requesting AWB Access for English Wikipedia only. Other projects have their own check pages and you should ask administrators there to add you.
If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage. If you will make many or fast automated edits using AWB, you may wish to use a separate (or bot) account for that purpose; first create the account, give it a userpage declaring it to be your alternate account, then make the request using your main account.


User:CalOtter

My reason for applying is to help out on the WP:ARB/R pages and Wikipedia:Bot requests. Thanks! CalOtter (talk) 22:21, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

{{notdone}} – Please come back when you have 250 non-automated edits in the main space. EdJohnston (talk) 01:02, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where it says that you need 250 non-automated main space edits? CalOtter (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See the blue box near the top of this page: Users with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. EdJohnston (talk) 14:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see that it says 500 mainspace edits or 250 non-automated mainspace edits? I have 500 mainspace edits. CalOtter (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The wording on this page should probably be changed. I personally would not grant AWB to someone who had fewer than 250 non-automated mainspace edits, unless they had a specific need they could explain. But other admins might decide differently. I don't object if another admin wants to go ahead in your case. EdJohnston (talk) 20:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed my closure above, and am leaving this for the next admin to decide on. EdJohnston (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CalOtter, what sort of edits require the use of AWB at the pages you've listed? Primefac (talk) 19:44, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Shoot, I meant the AWB tasks page. Currently, there is a request by Bhunacat10 stating "Would a bot operator please remove the words "the name given to" from the 250-odd articles that have in their first sentence the phrase "Xxx Church is the name given to a religious building..." This phrasing goes against the recommendation at WP:REFERS". If I was granted this right, I would complete this task. Thanks! CalOtter (talk) 23:26, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
{{not done}}, as the discussion you reference seems to indicate that this change shouldn't be made. Combined with the lack of non-automated edits to Wikipedia I'm not quite comfortable granting access at this point at time. Primefac (talk) 01:57, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not so, Primefac, my request has attracted no comments or action to date. Your link goes to a section below mine: Bhunacat10 (talk), 07:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes. My apologies. Primefac (talk) 11:52, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done the edits in question seem harmless enough; however, your lack of editing experience gives me pause: you have been editing for less than three months and have only made 9 non-automated edits, and AWB is a powerful tool, which can create massive messes if misused, even in good faith. For that, I agree with EdJohnston's assessment and suggest you come back after you have accumulated a bit more experience. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:A202985

Reason for requesting is to help WP:curling with tagging talk pages and assessing articles quality/importance A202985 (talk) 05:09, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has approximately 118 non-automated edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 05:10, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I only have 118 edits in the mainspace but an additional 322 edits in the talkspace which are almost all adding wikiproject banners and setting quality/importance assessments
 Not done, does not meet minimum requirements. Primefac (talk) 12:59, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Clifflandis

It's been a little over a year since I picked Wikipedia back up, and I'm curious about whether/how AWB would speed up my work. Most of my recent edits have focused on creating new articles on historical female botanists as part of WP:WPWIR. Thanks for the consideration. Clifflandis (talk) 21:38, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
AWB doesn't really help you with creating new articles. It's useful when you do repetitive tasks maintaining lots of articles. Schwede66 09:25, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
